This album was successful. Two singles from this album were also successful. The most successful was “Rings of Gold”, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Country charts in 1969. All the songs in this album are duets, both with Gibson and West. “Rings of Gold” helped Dottie West’s career, because it became her biggest hit up to that point. It also revitalized Don Gibson’s career as a solo artist. The other single from the album, “Sweet Memories” was a Top 40 hit, reaching No. 32. Their duet partnership would last into the next year, with another Top 10 hit, but they never recorded another album together. This album reached No. 21 on the “Top Country Albums” chart in 1969.

Dottie West was one of the most successful, and controversial, performers to rise to popularity during the Nashville sound era; like her friend and mentor Patsy Cline, West’s battles for identity and respect within the male-dominated country music hierarchy were instrumental in enabling other female artists to gain control over the directions of their careers. I love this album, which showcases Dottie’s voice superbly. Dottie never tried to do anything radical with any of the songs that she covered, but she recorded them all in her own heartfelt country.
